bhop cherry picking and ducking the best

[IMDAZED]

An immediate Hopkins rematch wasnt really an option until Hopkins beat Pavlik. HBO were trying to use Hopkins to build up Pavlik....

An immediate rematch was an option right after they fought.

[ИATAS]

I don't think he retired after the Hopkins fight.

at the press conference Joe was saying how the biggest challenge was the undefeated Pavlik and that's the fight the fans wanted to see. He said jones was shot.

of course, he goes and fights jones and hopkins fights pavlik. Just goes to show the difference of their careers - one guy constantly takes on challenges, the other constantly takes the path of least resistance.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Yeah,that's my point,they fought.

What does that mean? They fought when they were both at the latter stages of their careers instead of their primes.

If Lewis and Bowe fought today, would that excuse Bowe's duck?

if hopkins hadn't been so damn defensive in that fight he'd have won a pretty clear UD. I think one of the main reasons there was no rematch was simply because the first fight was a snoozefest and the hype couldn't be generated. Hopkins spent the whole fight on the back foot landing a few nice shots but not making any attempt to exploit em while joe just kept coming forward landing nothing of worth but doing just enough to impress the judges. Yawn.

Hopkins lost the fight more than calzaghe won it IMO.


anyway Hopkins ducking? What top fighter in their prime did calzaghe ever fight?

ancient eubank
ancient hopkins
ancient jones
I mean jeff lacey??
okay he fought kessler
ducked otke ducked froch the list goes on ...

He was just saying whatever he had to NOT fight Hopkins again.

Yeah, they were clamoring for Jones-Calzaghe, that PPV thriller.

And then Hopkins fought Jones in 2010....

Well Hopkins vs Joe wasnt even on PPV the 1st time so....

[DUCK FACE]

After he was knocked out in 1 round by an Aussie bum

Still Bhop had to fake low blows and behind the head shots to get past a shot to **** Roy Jones
